The vice squad

The Fix in Washington Post rounds up speculation on vice presidential candidates. Mike Huckabee, naturally, turns up on the John McCain list. Wesley Clark is on Hillary Clinton's list.

Comments

a most interesting trial balloon was floated yesterday as a VP candidate for McCain.

one that would signal as much of an "FU/get back to the back of the bus and shut up" to the neocons and snakehandler base of the GOP as will Hillary's choice of Bill Richardson to the DEMs.

COLIN POWELL.

I note that during the debate last night, when one of the questioners brought up the idea of a Hillary-Obama "dream ticket," neither party dismissed it. I sure liked the idea.

Agree with Arch. Hillary/Obama would be a dream team. But I think there's too much bad blood there. Wesley Clark may be a little too much Arkansas on the ticket, but he'd make a fantastic Sec. of Defense or even Sec. of State. Richardson, perhaps?
Who knows? She hasn't AXed me yet. Ya'll will be the first to know if she does. She's gotta get by Barack first.

McCain does need help with the religious fanatics, so Huck may be he boy. Wouldn't that kill Limbaugh? Buds that they are...could be Rudy.

Ain't speculation fun?!

I'll say it again: I think the two front-runners will appear on the same Democratic ticket.


Too bad Iowa Electronic Markets doesn't have a wager for V-P.

R nomination market
Huck: 0.011
McCain 0.845
Romney 0.115

Huckabilly will stay in long enough to get sufficient delegates to trade for something.
Maybe a job for the boys or assistant Sec of Something for Jetherine.

Me and Cato are willing to be co-vps. There's no constitutional amendment against it, is there? All I want out of it is a desk job on a yacht in the Caribbean. Testing rum or something important like that.

Wes Clark, what a joke! He is credited for almost starting world war III. He has never explained why he was releived of his Nato Command so suddenly. Very interesting he was a Republican until he and his little wifey realized they would not be invited to Kaki's litte liberal love fest parties when they moved back to Little Rock.
